L’Assommoir

CHAPTER IX
3/117

I'd be much better off with strangers.

I asked for a cup of tisane and they brought me an entire pot of hot water.

It was a way of saying that I drank too much.

I brought Nana up myself and she scurries away in her bare feet every morning and I never see her again all day.

Then at night she sleeps so soundly that she never wakes up to ask me if I'm in pain.
I'm just a nuisance to them.
